Oh man this is awesome. You did indeed pull of a rearing horse off well, and I'm delighted you found it a learning experience. Thank you for a great picture of Tyber and Vysha. *does happy dance* Great work.

*beams* Glad you like it! It really makes my day when people tell me I've done a good job. Thank you! :3

You earned you praise. though would you change his name to 'Tyber' in the title and descrip, please?

Oops! Sure thing! Sorry about that. ^^;

No problem. Thanks.

yes, rearing horsie looks good. :) but admit it, you sought an excuse to draw sheath! XD

no really, great detailing, great overall looks, and nicely done design of armoury and clothes. the horse head looks good, too. he* I guess that one can't be bribed with a carrot, unless it's stuffing for a bunny, eh? :)

Hah, not quite. Animal sheaths never have been anything more than additional pieces of anatomy for me. ;) I'm not the type that gets excited by them.

Thank you. :) Horses were always a particular favorite of mine to draw. I don't get to draw feral horses enough these days!

aha, then have some people ride assorted horsies. ^^

Drawing horses is one thing. Drawing people/furres RIDING horses is another. xD But, yanno. Practice makes perfect. :P

it helps a little bit if one knows how to ride, I guess. but yes, practising never hurts. :)

Yeah, it does help. I am a fairly experienced rider and it helps knowing how you're supposed to hold the reins and whatnot. :P

ah, nice. I used to take riding lessons many years ago, but had to stop due to time and money. :)

Yeah, I took a few riding lessons, and then I got my own horse, which was great until he started getting out of control and needing re-training beyond my experience level. :( I sold him last fall because I couldn't afford to keep him anymore. But oh well. He was a learning experience anyway. :)

aww. it's always tough to give away a long-term animal companion. :(

for a time I used to have a horse who was like, "don't touch me!" in a tipsy way. then I thought, maybe he wants to get aquainted with the various riders, so I took my time before getting him ready for the lessons. when I wanted to go and get the gear he stopped me firmly by putting the soft flesh between corner-of-mouth and jaw muscles to my cheek. it felt so good I almost wept. we were like best pals after that, a curious surprise to the teacher. :)
I was making plans to buy him when he was sold to someone else, and left the stable soon after that. :/

Awww. :3 That's a really cute (but sad!) story. I love how cute horses can be. :) So much personality.

absolutely. they all were individuals of some sort. ^^

I love the teeth on the horse! And the claws. Looks like some kind of Warcraft mount. Pretty cool!

Thank you. :) I'm pretty fond of the horse myself.
